Common Stock Options Expiration Dates

Common Stock Options expiration dates should be structured so that they coincide with when companies are to report their quarterly earnings. And that means they should all be structured to expire a month and a half after the calender year quarters. So all expiration dates should be as follows:

October 15February 15May 15August 15

This would allow investors to more readily capitalize on the true growth of a company. It would also eliminate much of the manipulation that almost put this country into another great depression.

The way they are structured today investors do not reap the benefits from them as they should as the options often expire in gaps in market activity. When they expire in these grey areas where there is no information to base stock prices on stock prices are more readily manipulated to the detriment of the public investor.

Our capital markets should not be structured whereby the wealth of the American public is siphoned away to a undefined class of white collar criminals.

And here is a quote from my intellect for the day, "Just because someone says that something or someone else should have a good reputation does not mean that it does."

If you are a good person do not take offense of this, I am just trying to weed out the evil of this country.

About Me

Welcome to my Blogs. My name is Thomas Murphy and I love the forest and wildlife areas of Wisconsin and would like to share my thoughts and the pictures I have taken of the natural areas of Wisconsin.
Come share in my collection of what I feel to some of the finest scenes and images of the forests, lakes, rivers and marshes that Wisconsin has to offer. I like to go to pristine and secluded areas where nature resides quietly and I feel the resulting “lost” images are profoundly unique.
I am usually “in the moment” when I take these pictures. When I say in the moment I mean a sense of excitement often precedes what my eye captures through the camera. I never stage these shots but seem to be in the right place and time when I shoot them.
And when I transfer them from my camera and view them on my computer screen I realize a sense of surrealism that resonates with me yet again to the time they were taken and exemplify the beauty of nature.
Please peruse my sites and experience the beauty of being there as I did.
